Details of little projects that I take on, usually of some technical nature and the trials and tribulations of trying to accomplish something doable. In addition, some of the inbetweens of life that come up and have to be done, need to be done or want to done while doing something else. In other words, I try to do a lot, but end up being, "Jim Do Little".

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest

Awhile back we ordered the third and unfortunately last book by Stieg Larsson, "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest". A great Swedish author who met his rather early death after beginning his fourth book, Stieg Larsson will be sorely missed by Mary and I and the rest of his adoring fans.

This book, as does the prior two, continues the story of Lizbeth Salander, an unlikely heroine if ever there was one. Tattooed, diminutive and antisocial, most readers, I think, would initially dislike her or be repelled by her physical non attributes. However, after completing the first few chapters of the first book "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", you simply must read what comes next. We actually took the unusual step with the second and third books of ordering them early through Powells and getting them from the U.K. as you see, the third comes out in the states in July 2010 and we just couldn't wait.

About Me

My main interests are photography, computers, solvable problems and alternate entertainment(books, live shows etc.). Also, eating at non - chain restaurants and promoting them and seeing more of Cleveland and other cities on foot.
Our first computer was a Tandy TL/3 from Radio Shack which did not have Windows 3.1 but DOS. All I wanted was to install Scrabble. The guy who helped me kept calling it "Stabble". I bought a book on DOS after many trips back to the store and no success. Just another one of my "little projects". And yes, in case you were wondering, I did successfully install "Stabble"!
